Grrrrrgh!
Course : Indian
From: HungryMonster.com
Serves: 1
 

Ingredients:

---FOR THE DUMPLINGS---
1 Cup fresh cheese
1 teaspoon regular cream of wheat
10 pieces unsalted raw pistachios -- (to 12), chopped
---FOR THE SYRUP---
1 cup sugar
4 cups water
---FLAVORING---
1 dashes rosewater -- optional
 

Preparation:

These milky-white ovals, floating in a clear sweet sauce, are irresistible. 1. Make sure that the fresh cheese is well drained; too much moisture may cause the dumplings to crack as they cook. Place the well drained and well kneaded cheese on a board. Sprinkle Cream of Wheat evenly over the cheese and knead again to uniformly incorporate it. Let rest a few minutes. 2. Prepare the dumplings: Pinch off portions of the dough and roll into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Gently insert your little finger halfway into each ball, place 1 or 2 pistachio bits in the indentation, and reshape into a smooth ball that doesn`t show any cracks on the outside. Flatten into an oval about 2 inches long and 3/4 inches thick. (Use any remaining pistachios for garnish.) 3. Make the syrup: Bring the sugar and water to a boil in a deep pan about 10 inches in diameter. Boil for 10 minutes, then lower the heat. Place each ball on a spoon and gently lower into the syrup. Simmer, covered, 1 hour. 4. Transfer cham-chams and any remaining syrup to a large bowl. Let cool, then refrigerate for several hours or, for best results, up to 2 days. Sprinkle with rosewater and decorate with any remaining pistachios. Makes about 20 cham-chams.
